Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
Decided April 30, 1982No. 81-3368PublishedCited by 19 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
ALVIN B. RUBIN, Circuit Judge:
Two of the parties to a consent decree with the Government seek to avoid enforcement of a provision in that decree requiring them to restore, in accordance with the Government’s plan, marshland that they have altered. Alternatively, they seek approval of their own plan on the basis that it is a better one, and they also seek discovery of the Government’s files to enable them to establish that their plan is better. The district court rejected these attempts to escape the consequences of the decree and enforced it. We affirm.
